EDITOR’S LETTER
The preservation and sustainability of our earth have become points of focus in recent years. More and more companies are taking the responsible initiatives to go green with their operations and minimizing their environmental footprint.
In this year-end issue, our focused coverage will revolve around sustainability and “green” development in the construction field in Hong Kong. We will bring you an update on its development and how our architects and developers make a concerted effort to capitalize on resources in a wise manner to create high-quality, energy-efficient buildings, be it commercial or residential.
In Editorial Focus – Smart City, we will take a closer look at the current computer-aided technology and its benefit in terms of the construction efficiency and making the building intelligent. The Quayside (TQS) is one of the examples in Hong Kong that incorporated numerous intelligent and sustainability features that are worth our attention. In order to offer our readers a deeper understanding of The Quayside (TQS), we are delighted to be able to carry out an interview with Max Wong, Director of Project and Operations from Link REIT in “In the Spotlight”. In the interview, Mr. Wong meticulously elucidated the rationale of sustainability behind the development of The Quayside (TQS) and its importance to the company.
What will also be featured in this issue includes The Hong Kong Green Building Council Limited (HKGBC), which is a non-profit, member led organization, striving to promote the standards and developments of sustainable buildings in Hong Kong. They introduced BEAM Plus, a benchmark that offers independent assessments of building sustainability performance. Year 2019 marks the 10th
to appreciate the contributions of the green buildings to the sustainable built environment in Hong Kong.
Thank you for your unflagging support in Year 2019. I look forward to seeing you again in Year 2020. Avery Kwok
year of its establishment and BEAM Plus Certification Ceremony will be held every year
